Recent Resumption of the Mundane

With both of us in permanent posts for over a year now, we have the psychological and financial capacity to do mundane things on the weekend.

Back in April we went to Whipsnade Zoo & Wildlife Conservation Park in Bedfordshire. Not sure what the animals to the left are, maybe wallabies? But they were looking pretty chill. In the giraffe house, there was an upper level you could go on to see them at eye level (below left).

In early May we visited Kew Botanical Gardens in Richmond. There's my beloved and I (below) on the Treetop Walkway with the newly reopened Temperate House behind us. The other picture is in the Bluebell Wood.

Last weekend, we went to Monkey World Ape & Monkey Sanctuary in Dorset. The woolly monkey (below) was part of a small family group that was foraging near the edge of the enclosure. The chimp (below) had climbed to the top of a telegraph pole to investigate his food puzzle box away from the others. Apparently, if a tree is included in the enclosure, they will uproot it, and lay it on the barrier, and climb out.
